Corona Virus Update 5/26

I want to thank Grisel Escalara for taking the time to be on a zoom call with the governor today. Grisel and other union members were able to tell Governor Lamont firsthand how they have had Workers’ Compensation denied after contracting Covid-19 at work. 

I also want to thank Martha Marx for taking part in a telephone town hall with Senator Blumenthal and made the case for “erring on the side of caution” to protect caregivers risking Corona Virus exposure.

Both are members of our VNA Local in SE CT.

I participated on a press conference a day before a Face Book shareholders meeting calling on FB to stop disinformation on it’s platform.

Today we passed 100,000 Corona Virus deaths in the United States.

Think about that a minute………..

We are 80 days since our first confirmed case of Covid-19 in Connecticut and 7 days into our reopening.

694 people are hospitalized, down 12 today

3769 have died, 27 today.

Be well, be safe,

John
